Rally Camera - jcbRallyCamera-v32a.zip (17KB) - 4 October 2004 [Now with Up Down Aiming][04]
Adds an extra view while driving wheeled vehicles. Very similar to the view used in most racing games. The camera always follows behind the vehicle but
is not rigid. There is a enough movement to be able to see all the action but still control the car. See Also the Unwheel version
Content Mania - jcbContentMania-v83b.zip (88KB) - 5 June 2005 [Now with Triggers][04]
This mutator lets you add extra objects to existing maps without editing the level file. Things like vehicles in Deathmatch maps and any number of
extra weapons, ammo or health. Manic fun on any map.
Things You Can Add:
Vehicle Factory - adds a vehicle and when that's destroyed, adds another
Vehicles and Turrets - this is a different option to the above and just adds the vehicle or turret once
Weapon Pickups - these are just the weapons spinning in the air. A bit untidy so use...
Weapon Pickups with Bases - these are the spinning weapons plus the base that marks thier location
Ammo Pickups - add extra stuff lying round
Other Pickups
Health and Super Health Chargers - the 25 and 100 pointers
Shield and Super Shield Chargers - the 50 and 100 point ones
Double Damage
Decorations - just stuff you may want to embellish the map with
Custom Items - you can add your own menus with your own choice of items on
Triggers - you can set triggers at points in the map which then spawn other items
See the Readme file
for further details.
If you had a previous version prior to June 2004 and your existing setups no longer work with the newer version have a look at
these instructions for converting from older versions.
If you want to use this mutator with AirPower or the vehicles from the Editors Choice bonus pack, see the additional setup notes.

jcbContentMania-v95b.zip (150KB) - 26 July 2005 [Beta][04]
Unlock Vehicles - jcbUnlockVehicles-v15a.zip (10KB) - 19 July 2004 [Updated][04]
Unlocks all the vehicles in Onslaught games, so that any team can drive any vehicle. Now has a configuration option to power all Static Weapon Turrets.
Extra Start Weapons - jcbStartWeapons-v10a.zip (9KB) - 16 May 2004 [Final][04]
Lets you select an extra weapon, that all players start with, in addition to the Assault Rifle. (see also jcbUnevenTeams.)
Replace Weapons - jcbReplaceWeapons-v16a.zip (14KB) - 7 May 2004 [Final][04]
Lets you select any weapon to replace with another in an existing map.
Uneven Teams - jcbUnevenTeams-v37a.zip (20KB) - 21 June 2004 [More Features][04]
Now you can unbalance any team game, by changing the starting weapons of the teams and the bots. In addition for
'Players vs Bots' games you can play with more Bots than Players. It even
lets you set the number of lives separately for the Bots and Players.
The latest version now lets the players choose either any weapon or from the basic weapons depending on
how the server is configured. On the mutators
configuration options, from the Players list of weapons, select, 'Player Selects Any Weapon' or 'Player Selects a Basic Weapon'.
(The 'Players vs Bots' option in UT2004 is on the 'Host Game' menu, 'Game Rules' tab and
select the 'Bot Mode'.)
Unwanted Bots - jcbUnwantedBots-v12a.zip (12KB) - 19 July 2004 [Updated][04]
When playing any of the team games, its spoilt slightly if you meet yourself on the other
team. This is especially frustrating when you have your own team skins. This mutator
lets you enter a list of charater names that are not allowed to join as a Bot.
UT2004 Experimentation
Real Time Shadows Mutator - jcbShadows-v17a.zip (40KB) - 10 July 2004 [beta, with source][04]
This is DEMONSTRATION code only. It adds real time dynamic shadows. It is just a package of the code produced by SquirrelZero, many thanks. Details are on his
UnrealWiki page. The best
way to view the shadows is to go in to spectator mode and follow the other players.
v17a Now works in multiplayer.
UT2003
Cooperative Mission - jcbCoopMission-v25a.zip (14KB) - 11 January 2004 [Final][03]
This mutator is to allow you and your friends to play as a team against the computer.
It forces all the Human players on to one team and all the Bot players on to another team.
Works with Team DeathMatch, and should work with any normal game type, based on the DeathMatch game.
Configure options for the team colour and the how many lives each side has. Plus a new feature to exclude
Characters from the Bot team.
(There is a 'Players vs Bots' option built in to UT2004. On the 'Host Game' menu, 'Game Rules' tab and select the 'Bot Mode'.)
UT2004 UnWheel Rally Camera 2 -
This camera mode is now incorporated in to UnWheel.
Included in the EC version, of Unwheel, from late August 2004. Download the latest version of UnWheel.
[I was please to grant permission for the development team to use my code.]
Skins
UT2004
Senator Clan Skins - jcbSenatorSkins_v32.zip (6.3MB) - 19 April 2004 (16 May 2004)
These are some of the standard models from UT2004 re-coloured for my home team. This
lets us play in matching uniforms. There are 6 skins in all, 2 female and 4 male, all in a
bright lilac colour to help us avoid shooting each other. See
the readme for pictures.
(Added SetupMod script to distribution.)
Installation
Each zip file contains a readme with installation instructions, but in most cases it is
as simple as unzip the contents in to the sub folders within the '<UT2003>' or
'<UT2004>' folder. My newer Mods include a simple SetupMod script to do this for you.
Installation Utility (for use by other developers)
SetupMod.vbs - jcbInstaller_v34a.zip (8KB) - 22 June 2004 [Final][03+04]
This is a script to use instead of ut4Mod files for setting up mods, mutators and other packages.
It copies all the files in to whatever folders you want and it can add the 'ServerPackages=...'
line to the UT2004.ini as well.
You can distribute your packages as a single zip file so users do not have to extract them from ut4Mod files
when they have problems.
